ELECTION ME:ETINGS. 14`2,'ETING. 1F ;SM. WILSON'S FRIEND A. A Meeting"of the friends of ToomAs Esq. convened by, circular letters, assenibled.yes terday, *t 12 o'clock,, at the City of LirndOn Ta vern. There were ab , rtt 150 Y persons present. Sortie difficulty occurred at first' in fixing on a Chairman, but aftur sutue delay, I_l-..11. POWELL tva3 plae.ed in the Chair. •Lie then stated the ob ect of the Meeting to be, to take into their con- s;deration, as ptivateJriends of Mr. WILSON, the probability of success that was likely to attend his becoming a Ca;n for the' City of London, and whether they could ventore to recommend or to solicit his coining for - a -arch:- • Mr. Ga ANT addressed the Meeting at some length-in fa%our of Mr. Wilson's claims. Mr. 1..= EMBIE - follelwed on the satire side, and entered into a full cousideration of the objections , likely to he urged against his offering himself. He did not believe that the late petiod at which the, idea had been suggested mould prove of any mate rial disadvantage to Mr. WilSon ; the notion had become genet ally prevalent throughout the city that some person to be selected as the pecu liar guardian of the commercial interest Would offer himself, and a large portion of the Li vely had in consequence refrained from engaging their votes. The commercial men like himself, and-the greater part of the company present, - .though not themselves possessed of votes, were enabled generally by their connexions with the Livery to exert a'very great and beneficial influence. He thought one objection that had been urged against Mr. Nilson, his not being a, member of the Cor poration, was an 'advantage to him, rather than otherwise, as a Legislator,as it left him at liberty to bestow on his country his undivided attention, according to the well'known line Excursus propiiisalicna negotia curo!' Mr. iCemble concluded by expressing his -decided conviction. and which. he believed woold fully coincide with that of the..c.:o4rfpany present, that the commercial interests of .the City were Made qoately represented, and that 'they could not fix on any perstin more competent to protect them than the Gentlenian whose conduct they were now to regulate by their advice. A set of, Resolutions were then read by Mr. Burmestre, and put from the,chair, expressive of the unaninious wish of the company that Mr. Wilson should stand for-the city. On , the- read ing of the t bird Resolution, which merely-ex pressed that Mr. Wilson, from his extensive con cerns and long experience in the affairs of- corn tneKce, was peculiarly qualified, a Gentleman (we believe Mr. Hunt, of Hackney) proposed as an 'amemitnent, that the words ". and his attach ment to our venerable constitution" should bi in troduced; which was agreed to, and immediatelY adopted. A Deputation then waited on Mr. Wil son,and that Gentleman having expressed his com pliance. with the wishes of his friends, a select Committee was fornied, . which immediately' as- i sembled in one of the rooms below-stairs, to enter without delay on the most active-measures for securing his election._ MEETING OF MR ROWCROFT'S FRIENDS. than him for a Representative. -If t had not -been fOr the long continuance of a contrary wind, he should-in all probability have been at St. Peters burgh at that time ;• he had beendetained, however, by the easterly winds ;and he had hyped, ikhonour - - cd.by a seat for the City of London, to have done much in Rusria for its interest, and to bare been netter enabled with such a mark of confidence to have exerted himself for their benefit.. The worthy gentleman, then stated his particular rea- - sons for coming forward. Mr. - Atwood, Mr. John Smith, 'Mr. Robert Williams, Sir it. C.. Glynn, Sir C. S. Hunter, and several. other Gen tleman had refused to offer themselves, and he had only done so because no other person - seemed_, inclined. He next entered into a most feeling statement of his conduct at Mr. Owen's meeting, and in various other situations ; after which, he read a series of questions which he had put to himself on the propriety of his becoming a member, the principal of which were, ‘,‘ Have I the necessary qualification ?- Can I take the Oaths and tests ? Can I find a chairman 1 Wilhany one . write resolutions for me ? NVill the expences he paid in my election, which Icatinot afford ?" The last was answered in the affimative. With respect to the drawing up of resolutions, his band should have withered before he had attempted ;o dolt for himself. As to opinions, he would give no 'pledge ; he was to hear, consider, and determine. He hoped the City of London would re-elect Sir W. Curtis. He had served them in six Parlia ments, 'and surely. they would not reject a man in the seventh hour, whom they had recognized and chosen for six ? They might hear from' hiin again, - or they might never see him more. If -they_ did not, lie cared not ,to be remembered ; and, when . he died, he hoped there would he a plain stone placed on his grave,.withou: name, without date, and without, description, but that simple seo tence—" He proposed the subscription for, the men of Waterloo."—(great applause.) After the thanks had been voted unataimously to 1111. Rowcrott for the trouble he had had in coming forward, and to the Chairman, the Meet ing broke up. iJAW IN'T'ELLIGENCE: COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 12. (Sittiligs after Trinity Tenn, before Mr. Justice ABBOTT, and a Common Jury) The Court was occupied the whole day in trying causes of no public interest whatever, being chiefly actions upon Bills of Exchange, and goods sold and delivered. To-morrow the adjourned sittings commeneo at Westminster. The post ponement of the Home Circuit, which commences on the . ] ath of July, at Hertford, will enable the Jlidges, it is hoped, to clear the London cause paper of the long arrear of Special Jury causes, nia - ny s of which have stood over from the Sittings after last Michaelmas Term.

This was an information against Mr. George Wainwright, bottle-merchant, Nos. 63 and 64, New Compton-street; olio, for having in his pryisession and using a private TheCom mis.ioners convicted-the defendant in the penalty of 1001. TEE KING V. MOLT. .• The defendant , Mr. Holt, the proprietor of the Pliceaix, Itatchlre,cross,. was convicted in the p ei ,,&y of running contraband spirits, which were selivi:by the officers of Excise in Whitechapel. There were only two gallons of spirits the penalty was taken by consent. This Meeting was held . at the London Tavern, Bishopsgatc-street, yesterday, a little after the hour appointed (two o'clock.) Mr. RowcaoFT appeared and stated, that en tirely without being expected, Mr. Thomas Wit sou, of the house of Agassiz and Co. had been called upon tb come forward, and a meeting of his friends had just been held. That Gentleman was most worthy and respectable ; he bad been, connected with him in the Plicenix Insurance esta blishment, and therefore could speak of him as a most descrying man from their personal acquaint ance. It had been - said, that Mr. Wilson had pro mised to offer himself to the Livery on Tuesday next ; before that time, therefore, they might ex pect sonic definitive arrangement, or some change might probably take place. Since it had first been contemplated by his (Mr. ROwcroft's) friends that he should offer himself, two other persons had come . forward ; Mr. Alderman Birch, no doubt with great propriety, having given notice of his intention to become a candidate. It was necessary, if there were two Members of each party for the city, that one at least should be a 'man capable of energetic exertion. It ought, therefore, to be a consideration what time and ef forts a man could 'bestow upon the City as their Representative. In a few minutes the Committee entered, and Colonel Wilson was called to the Chair. The Cn AIRMAN apologized for the delay that had occurred in consequence of Mr. Wilson's Meeting having taken place. Mr. Wilson's sen timents and those of Mr. Rowcroft, both politi cally and commercially, be considered as nearly similar. Of Mr. Rowcroft's ability no man could doubt ; he had appeared on so tnany . public °pea- . Skits, and had so constantly displayed that libe rality of sentiment tliat was peculiarly required in• A representative of the City of London. It was, however, the opinion of the City of London, that Mr: Rowcroft should not proceed in his offering himself to become a representative, because they considered that defeat, if it should take• place, would be most hurtful to the feelings and acute sensibility of that 'worthy gentleman. If the gentlemen in the room, however, were of a dif ferent opinion ; they would have au opportunity of expressing it. The subject was one which re quired consideration. No Gentleman offering himself, Mr. ROW CROFT said, that the matter would re quire great consideration. With regard to his acute sensibility, perhaps he bad not - so much for himself as he had often shown for affairs in which lie was. not interested, except from' motives of hninanity. Mr. ,Wilson was a man who was ‘vor . thy of the situation for which lie was proposed. A person who was the son of as excellent and deserving a man as had ever appeared or lived in the Metropolis had come forward. Another Gen tleman of great talent arid respectability, both in public and in private life, intended, he believed, to offer himself. At a meeting held for the conside ration of the best means of forwarding the elec tion of Mr. J. Thornton, it had been suggestetko him that he might become a member. • He said then, however, that they ,should look-further CHARGE 6F Pots° NIN G Henry Newton, who is a decent looking, well dressed man, was put to the We, indicted for 'the wilful ,murder H. Ryder upon the high seas, about 300 leagues off the island of Madeira, by mixing white arsenic with a saucer of sugar, with which the deceased sweetened his tea, and of which he died. ' The examination of the first witness, Carter,- the black cook of the brigantine Willia / m,- of which the deceased was Captain', sbewcd, that the prisoner was taken .on. board the at Barbadoes, as a pilot for the Brazil coait,'the vessel,being .bound for Maranham. On the home ward-bound. voyage the prisoner and the deee . ased had' some word:, the latter threatening - to knock the prisoner down if he gave him the lie. Carter. had always been in the habit of placing the sugar saucer on the table, till one night, when on -go ing into the cabin to lay the cloth, he found the saucer already 'on it. After supper Ryder com plained of being very sick,' iind had excessive pains in his bowels, and all his limbs. He vo mited, and was severely-purged. He said he was. poisoned, and died about three o'clock in _the morning. Bowden, the Mate, was very ill, but tlitl not die. The evidence did not substantiate the chara b ei and the evidence of Medical men was that the appearance of the body was not that of a person• who-bad taken arsenic. The prisoner, being called on for his defence, said he was perfectly innocent ; that his -heart would revolt at a crime so horrible ; and that al though they met two vessels shortly after the un fortunate death ot Captain Ryder, not a word was saitl about his death, not for three months after his arrival at Liverpool. Under these circum stances he should entrust his case with the Learned Judge and the Almighty. Several respectable persons gave the prisoner a good character. The Jury retired for an quarter of an hour, and on their return found the prisoner Not Grilly. WESTMINSTER SESSIONS. Yesterday two young men of respectable appear ance, named WILLIAM VAUGHAN and THOMAS DOUGH, were indicted for having assaulted a pri vate in the 3d. Regiment of Guards in the execu tion of his duty at Covent-garden Theatre.. There was another count charging the defendants with a common assault. 'Phis case excited a great deal of interest, much doubt having been entertained by several gentle men at the bar whether a soldier's duty Compre hended his attendance at the Theatre. Charles Famish, the soldier, deposed• that he was sentry at the Piazza- of -Covent-garden Thea tre on the night of the 16th of April, and saw the prisoners walking with two girls: They were making a very great noise, in consequence of which a gentleman directed the' prosecutor to ilo his duty, by p'reventing any further disturb ance. Although the prosecutor addressed the. defendants in the most civil manner, and assured them that if they persisted in disturbing the the atre hg should be reported, they repeated the offensive conduct, and on" being again spoken to Found drowned: e t ile C=7" We are authorised to state, that s i n e i l or' MEDICAL BOARD has been established at ~tl'e lotte-Honse, Great Charlotte-street, opP° 3 , l fo c i Rev..
